In 1800 fake hair was frowned upon and women left their hair to be natural until the Romantic era was in full swing when women wore elaborate Apollo knots. Come the mid Victorian era and hair pieces were used a lot more extensively. Then strangely in the early 20th century Edwardian women wore false hair additions to create the pompadour hairstyle which looked like a woman was wearing a teapot on her head. How that became fashionable I don’t really know!

Around the 1920’s less hair was the big thing so hair pieces took a dive around that time and it wasn’t until the 1940s when long hair came back into fashion and women starting indulging again. Then in the 1960’s big hair was back with a vengeance. Coils were the in thing or the updo as better known to us were seen of many women, this was created by very extravagant human hair pieces. San Carlos Wigs made from real or fake hair were commonly worn around this time too and carried on into the early 70’s. Come the 80’s and big hair was in but only natural hair. Famous singers wore wigs but that was about it.

- a combination of the real hair and synthetic hair.

Real hair is literally that, 100% natural home grown hair from another person, it will behave the same as your own hair. Synthetic hair is artificial and usually doesn't hang or move naturally. A combination contains both types of hair, so if often cheaper, but still may not hang quite the way natural hair does.

A good stylist will choose the best shad match for your hair and highlights.

Synthetic hair looks and feels different to real hair as it is "set" it doesn't hang the same as natural hair. Synthetic hair does not handle water well and can become tangled easily. This makes it hard to look after as a permanent hair extension.

When considering human hair there are different qualities available. As it is not possible to just collect cut hair from the salon floor. the highest quality providers of human hair take great care to control how it is collected and processed. The hair is carefully cut to keep the strands lined up in the growing direction. This is help with the hair hanging naturally. Hair strands are made up of a number of layers of cells,the outer layer is known as the cuticle, the cuticle cells are like roof tiles overlapping. If the cuticle is complete and undamaged the hair will lock in more moisture and last longer. In the lower grades of hair extension the cuticle is damaged in processing(often by harsh chemicals), leaving the hair brittle. An expert stylist will make sure that the hair extension and your own hair cuticle direction are matched and run in the same direction.

This is one reason the best human hair extensions are the most expensive and the best option for your own hair extensions.

San Carlos Care and Maintenance

Hair extensions are widely used by several classes of people, the exact idea of the technique and how it is done still remains unknown to many. Varieties of extension techniques are in use today and each of them have specifications.

Function
With the help of extensions we can make the hair feel more volume and thus enhancing the beauty.

Types
Strand by strand extensions: Helpful in providing more volume and also length. The hair is sectioned first and small strands are taken from this section and they are further added to these sections either by gluing or heat fusing etc.

Weft extensions: They are exactly similar to strand by strand extensions with the difference being that here larger sections are taken.

Clip in extensions: They are considered to be the cheap as gluing is not required. The extensions are all clipped to a track which in turn is attached with metal pieces which can easily be clipped or sided in places.

Human hair
Remi and non remi are the two categories into which a human hair is divided. Remi hair is highly expensive as it provides better quality and lasts longer. The donors hair is cut and placed in the same way in the recipients cuticle. Non remi hair is not very expensive as the hair may get damaged in long term usage. The hair lying on floor after an haircut, or the hair left in the brushes etc are all collected to make the non remi hair.

Synthetic hair
They are made to look like the real human hair and is made of fiber. They are least expensive. Thought they look like real hair, cannot be styled and colored like the real human hair. Hence it does not provide all the benefits of the real hair.

Care
Adequate care should be provided to both the human types and above mentioned hair. Washing should be done only with shampoos which are not strong and only when they turn dry or give put an unpleasing smell. After shampooing, it is advisable to run the fingers through the hair to remove tangles.

Real Hair Extensions - The Key to Having Perfect Hair

You see them everywhere; they allow celebrities to go from short hair to greater lengths in an instant. Some look awful while others blend so well that no one would ever suspect; but have you ever wondered where the hair used in extensions comes from? Is it from human sources? What kind of process does it go through before it is attached as an extension? This article will address some of these questions and offer a couple of other insights into the world of the hair extension industry that may interest the average, information seeking, consumer.

First, we should establish that there are many companies that send buyers out to acquire hair for hair extensions and, without sounding biased to one brand or the other, I will just say this... not all hair extensions are created equal, so, buyer beware!

There are three basic categories of hair that is used for hair extensions.

• Synthetic - Hair made from synthetic fibers that are less likely to tangle with your natural hair but is very susceptible to melting due to heat from hot dryers and irons.

• Animal - In particular, the animal hair that is widely used for extensions comes from the under-belly of the Yak. It is claimed that this type of hair, because of its texture and look, has the most suitable structure for use as a match for chemically relaxed and treated African-Ethnic hair. One major drawback is that from there are those who will experience or develop allergic reactions to the Yak hair.

• Human - This hair may come from a variety of geographical regions. A word of caution: There are companies that will claim that the product you are receiving is from a human source but on final analysis, it may be shown to contain animal hair or synthetic fibers, as well. The reason this is allowed to occur is due to the technicality that if a collection of hair joined to form an extension strand contains at least one human strand in the mix, by legal standards it can be marketed as human. So, when researching where your particular extensions come from, always make sure that you are guaranteed that what you are buying is 100% human hair.

Now that we have categorized what the basic types of hair extensions are made of, we can look a little further into how the human hair, used in hair extensions, is collected.

Human hair collected for extensions can be categorized as:

• Remy: Meaning that all the hairs still have their cuticle layers intact with each strand faced in the same direction (this creates a natural fall to the extension, keeps tangling to a minimum, and allows light reflectivity for shine). Ideally the donor of this type of hair has a long braid cut from their head so as to preserve the quality of the cuticle layers following the same direction. Because of the care taken when gathering Remy hair, it tends to be more expensive to purchase but is the most desirable and suitable hair to use.

• Non-Remy: Cuticle layers are not aligned in the same directional flow. These strands are usually collected as naturally shed, fallen hair that is collected from hairbrushes. As you can imagine, this confused mixture of hair is very prone to tangling and matting due to the cuticle layers of the individual hairs not following in the same directions. To rectify this, these hairs are often subjected to acid treatments that remove the cuticle layers from the hair shafts, leaving behind a product that is weakened and dull looking. A silicone is then added to the hair to make the dull, stripped hair shinier. Over time this silicone erodes and washes away, leaving the Non-Remy tresses in their post-chemically treated, compromised condition. Being of lesser quality, this hair is less cost prohibitive than that of Remy hair but typically, produces a less desirable result.

Hopefully, I've shed a bit of light on where hair extension hair comes from, how it's processed, and created a platform where those of you that may be interested in getting an expert hair extension service performed will be able to make thoughtful decisions about the products that are used on your head.
